Here's today's PDN:
Father
Cristobal has not responded to call for return to Guam
After former altar boys tearfully
went public with allegations, a law was passed to open doors for lawsuits
against the church, clergy and others.
The Archdiocese of Agana has not
heard from Father Adrian Cristobal to determine whether Cristobal
will return to Guam by Friday, as
Archbishop Michael Jude Byrnes ordered.
Cristobal faces three
accusations of sexually abusing minors. As part of the investigation and
strengthened policies on the protection of children, Cristobal was ordered to
return to Guam or sanctions will be imposed on
him, according to the church.
"We have said that sanctions
would then (be) imposed on Father Adrian should he choose not to comply with the
June 15 deadline. Archbishop Byrnes has full intentions of following through
with the sanctions in such case," according to Tony Diaz, the
archdiocese's director of communication.
Cristobal, the archdiocese's
chancellor when Anthony S. Apuron served as archbishop, has hired a civil
lawyer, Diaz said.
Believed
to be in vicinity of New York
The sanctions would be separate
from the precautionary measures imposed on Cristobal, such as temporarily
banning the priest from celebrating Mass publicly or hearing
confession while investigations are ongoing.
Cristobal is believed to be in
the vicinity of New York , after leaving the
Diocese of Phoenix in Arizona
in April.
The archdiocese has repeatedly
communicated to Cristobal, via e-mail, that he is to return to Guam immediately. Church investigation into the three
allegations against Cristobal has begun.
Byrnes extends prayers on behalf
of the archdiocese to those who have come forward recently and in the past with
allegations of clergy abuse.
There have been more than 170 Guam clergy sex abuse lawsuits filed in local and federal
courts since 2016 against the Archdiocese of Agana, priests, other clergy and
others associated with the Catholic Church. The parties are pursuing mediation
to try to settle the cases out of court.
